CISS, That is in a word AWESOME. Much gratitude for taking the time to do this. Kind of neat to look at the entries in the order they were posted for the contests instead of by which ones placed the best.

I shot one new one for this week and plan to archive dive for the other two. However, I can’t tell if I used my other possibles in prior contests ’cause schnee spilled beer on the FSM.

I’m not complaining about schnee having a life. Really and truly. 🙂 But if we don’t have an FSM by go-time can we get some leniency for scarlet R’s?

OK, guys & gals, since FSM went down I’ve been spending all of my free time, a lot of my sleep time, and the time I’d normally put into the next contest (which may result in me having to skip this one) working on the new stats site.

It’s not ready yet (but watch for an announcement within the next day or so), but I’m far enough along that I was able to whip up something quick and dirty that may help here. It’s a page showing thumbnails of every entry for a given user with the contest date and theme. The thumbnails themselves are links to the entry in the Fark contest in case you need to view larger.

You can access it with this URL:
```
http://www.bibliostats.com/farktography/user/myusername
```
where myusername is, of course, your Fark username.

For example, to see all of U-Man‘s entries, the link is http://www.bibliostats.com/farktography/user/u-man

It’s not ready for prime time nor optimized for volume and is subject to change at any time, so please don’t share it publically or otherwise link to it, but it should suffice for now.
Holy shit! That is so cool! Thank you for the sacrifice man.

Farktographer; Too dark, in my opinion. But as I noted; there’s a lot of interpretations for this theme, so that’s only my 2 pesos. Of the 4 linked, I like the stairs, #1, best.

CISS If this is where you’re going with this, to what paypal address do I send the fundage? I’d be more than happy to donate a bit for the time you’ve put into it. It’s looking G-r-r-r-eat! so far!! (And the fundage may help defray bandwidth costs).

Sweet, CISS!

U-Man: If it’s the dark brooding shots of your girls, I know you’ve used some of those in the past.

Need a feeler for this guy:

Too much black, not enough “shadow”?

Also, I’m having problems selecting a final shot. Any suggestions/recommendations from the following?

It’s not very “shadowy” it’s dark. As far the above, the last one, definitely

And CiSS: That is freaking awesome!

Thanks. I was figuring it was just dark, not really shadowy, but wanted to test the waters.

CiSS – thanks for putting all that together!

Thanks everyone, really glad you all like it. I should have a more-or-less “official” contest results page up within the next day or two, certainly by the end of this contest.

rav, thanks much for the paypal offer, but save your cash for your new camera body (I’ve gotta have content for the site, right?). When it’s all done and publically launched, I may put a paypal donate button on the front page and if you still feel the same way, you can donate then. I’m on GoDaddy’s “all you can eat” plan with multi-year prepayment and I use the same plan to host my other sites, too, so it works out to only about $10-11 a month, no big deal really.

Els, I won’t have a page for it yet, but I should be able to manually check for Scarlet R’s (using the same filename matching mechanism). I’ll post anything I find here.

You’ve outdone yourself this time, CISS. Splendiferous.

That will definitely make my job easier–thank you! If we ever meet up, I owe you a beer (or other beverage of your choice)

Beer’s good. Maker’s Mark’s better. 😉

Genius!

Not just for this, but for the scripting, too. Also, try Four Roses for bourbon. It’s pretty much the only liquor I recommend that I don’t own stock in. That should say something.

Since some unfortunate overdoing it in college, I cannot drink whiskey, bourbon, or whiskey-like or bourbon-like drinks. Or sipping brandy. Vodka’s iffy.
